6 Reasons to Test Drive the 2025 Mazda3
Spirited Performance
Made for dashing through the city, the new Mazda3 boasts smooth driving dynamics, whether you opt for the base 191-hp engine or the available 250-hp powertrain. The entry trim levels come in standard front-wheel drive, providing fuel economy ratings of up to 31 MPG combined. Mazda’s i-AWD system is optional, boosting your confidence in adverse weather or when driving on loose terrains.
Both the hatchback and the sedan boast a six-speed manual transmission, but the hatchback’s system brings more fun, with manual and Sport modes for performance-oriented gear shifting.
Japanese-Inspired Styling
In the new Mazda3, the power under the hood pairs with head-turning styling. The model’s exterior design is inspired by the Japanese Kodo concept that blends smooth curves and sharp lines to create a play of shadows and light on the body panels. This design creates a sense of motion even when the vehicle is parked, so you can rest assured your car won’t pass unnoticed.
Ergonomic Comfort
Whether you choose the sedan or the hatchback, the Mazda3 offers upscale comfort. Cloth-trimmed sport seats are standard on the base trim, offering exceptional back and lateral support. For added comfort, premium front seats with power adjustments are available. At the back, passengers get 35.1 inches of legroom, while the 60/40 split-fold bench provides ergonomic support and allows you to expand the cargo space.
Luxury Amenities
Beyond comfort, this stylish city car also comes packed with luxury amenities, including power windows with a one-touch up-and-down function, remote keyless entry, and push-button start. Cubbies and door pockets provide plentiful in-cabin storage, and steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise control switches allow you to control various infotainment features and driver assistance technologies without distractions.
Smart Infotainment
Mazda equips each trim level of the Mazda3 with its latest infotainment system, bringing hands-free phone control, connectivity, and entertainment to your fingertips. A standard 8.8-inch center touchscreen provides access to the intuitive interface, allowing you to customize and save your settings. Voice commands and mobile 911 automatic emergency notifications are standard across both lineups, while the sedan also boasts standard HD Radio.
Advanced Safety
A standard suite of active safety features and driver assistance technologies completes the Mazda3’s design, keeping you nearly worry-free on the road. This model boasts dynamic stability control for enhanced handling in challenging conditions. Cruise control, a rearview camera, rear cross-traffic alerts, and lane management systems are other standard features.
